i would say the obama campaign ran a really smart, targeted campaign. that they were able to bring out in terms of the microtargeting, the numbers that you saw in terms of turnout of african-americans, women, young voters, hispanics, that was a really sophisticated operation. i have to say, i give them enormous amount of credit. i didn't think it was that possible to do what they did and they exceeded it. the other part is, you know, in terms of the republican party being, you know, too old, too white, i would add another thing. they're too wrong. they're wrong on the key issues in terms of where the country is. think about this one fact. american people asked in the exit polls where they stood on tax increases for those making more than $250,000, president obama won 60% of the voters and overall majority supported that. that tells you i think really clearly that the republicans are lo losing on issues they thought they would win and win big on. >> erin, let's play chris christie a short time ago finally giving reaction after taking a lot of heat from r
